There are some
who can live without wild things
and some who cannot.
— Aldo Leopold —
Secret Thots for a Very Private Gentleman
tales, temptation, and titillation…
And now we welcome the new year,
full of things that have never been.
— Ranier Maria Rilke —
No one has imagined us. We want to live like trees,
sycamores blazing through the sulfuric air,
dappled with scars, still exuberantly budding,
our animal passion rooted in the city.
― Adrienne Rich —
Coiled inside the heat of my heart
quivers a velvety shadow of desire
I peel back time
I fold the edges of now
I uncrease the frown of hurried tomorrows
All to see you
Neither of us flinch.
